Chapter 11
"Batman?!" was Artemis's reaction. It was almost immediate, the moment she had seen the looming shape, the glare, and the bright white eyes against the very black costume, she had just put the three together to say BATMAN!
"Who are you?" the great Bat said, making the teens cower under his watchful gaze.
"Teens from an alternate universe in past time?" Kaldur said, unsure of answering to another Bat.
"It's just another Thursday..." groaned the great and mighty Batman.
"Wow, that was surprisingly easy!" Roy said, rubbing his shoulder.
"He seems pretty passive..." observed Megan.
"Nah, he's the same ol' Bats." Artemis was quick to argue her past friend.
"Yeah, just tired maybe!" Conner shot back at his former girlfriend.
"Bats never gets tired... only if he stays up for like more than a week." corrected Wally, shaking his head.
"Yeah, he practices staying up. It's part of his training. He's not training." Roy nodded along to his best friend.
"Well, how do you know? You have not been here." Kaldur said, pointing at Roy.
"I know Batman well, and he is not tired!" Dick argued.
"But do you know this universes Batman?" Artemis shot back.
"I read his mind and he's not training!" Megan argued, fire building in her eyes. More like ice since she weakens around fire.
"Yeah? Well I doubt any of us could trust your mind reading skills. Or should I say, non-skills?" Conner barked.
"Yeah?" And the arguing went back and forth, like a circular ceaseless war.
"Can you please be quiet? My headache is worstening." Dick Grayson of the future stepped out of the shadows, with a Damian Wayne clinging to his hand.
"What?!" Dick said, looking at his future self,"Wow, I turned out to be real handsome, didn't I?"
Richard(that's what I'm calling the future Dick Grayson, if anybody has a better idea please tell me) laughed and snorted,"Oh yeah, people love our bod so much that people even write about it and draw it! Especially our bottom, take good care of it me! You're gonna need it, but don't go to overboard, because people might identify that we are Nightwing if your butt is in to good of a shape."
Dick chuckled and launched in an intent conversation with his future self. Damian groaned,"This is ridiculous!"
"Future Dick doesn't seem to surprised to see a past himself that's from a different universe.." Megan commented, with an obvious surprise showing.
"Yeah, I know, I told him everything!" Damian said, rubbing his nails into his jacket sleeve.
"But you were only gone for like two minutes, how could you describe everything in that time?" for once Conner was in total agreement with Megan's surprise.
"Told him in like 30 seconds but that's none of your business." Damian growled, jumping to Richard to tug him from Dick.
"What?!" Kaldur actually exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's called the Language of the Bat. It's none of your business." Damian repeated, tugging his older brother's sleeve.
"Hey, that kid named Drake in the hall said you got hurt. Are you okay?" Artemis asked Richard.
"Oh, Tim you mean. Yeah, totally fine. 12 stitches today, breaking a record of course!" Richard seemed to be excited.
"What?!" Damian yelped,"You need to be more careful! What if you die? No, no, I mean, I could care less about what you do... I don't care if you die!"
"Of course you do," Richard responded,"I'm fine, but I think you need to check up on Jason."
"He'll be fine, he's just got an icepack and he's fine!" Damian exclaimed.
"Look, I wanna get home!" Wally blasted out, almost in tears.
"Yeah, isn't that why we came here?" Roy added, rubbing Wally's back in a form of consolation.
"I think I know how to get you guys back actually.." Damian smirked as everybody gaped at him.
